Then I'd rekey the Baldwin myself with a Change-a-Lock kit so it's set to the new master. When buying new locks, make sure they're compatible with the Baldwin. Basic Baldwin and Schlage locks use the same cylinder, so they can use the same key. But don't get one of those new SecureKey models, nor an incompatible brand like Kwikset or Defiant. 1-16 of 24 results for 'defiant rekey kit' Amazon's Choice for 'defiant rekey kit' Prime-Line E 2400 Re-Key A Lock Kit, Kwikset, 5-Pin Tumbler Sets w/Pre-cut Keys.

I would suggest taking the lock to your local smith. A locksmith should only charge you about eight dollars U.S. Or less to rekey each cylinder.

You will spend more money buying the proper pins but if you have a lot of locks to rekey, ten or twenty, you can buy the proper pins from a locksmith supplier for about $2.50 per box and do it yourself and come out ok. The key may turn with the Schlage pins but your lock wont last long.

I can assure you they are different. Glen Cooper b.@upn.com, 19:32 น.

Defiant Locks Rekey Kit

If what you say is true, how do you suggest >rekeying a Baldwin? Call a locksmith. How much can it cost?

If you don't tighten the yoke properly, anyone can get in your house by unscrewing the cylinder. If you tighten the cylinder too much, the inside knob will start binding. If you don't put a shim between the lock case and the side of the mortise, the cylinder will screw in crooked. Convinced yet? Even the pro's screw them up if they are not familiar with the nuances of a Baldwin lock. The pin thing is also true. The key may turn but it will rub and not operate smoothly.

This information is assuming that your lock is a mortise lock. If it is a tubular lock, give it a try.
